Triplet Practice 2: Swing Feel

James Wilmoth (5351) · [archive]
Style: Basics · Level: Beginner · Tempo: 120
Pages: 1 2 3 4 5

First, let's start with learning a fundamental blues scale. This scale is one of my favorites, and is easy to remember. In later pages, we'll see it moved up and down the neck. We'll be using it in E, A, and B, with a basic 12 bar beat.
Blues in E
Blues in A
Blues in B


Notice the Scale never changes, but that the root-note moves up and down the fretboard, and the pattern follows. I have split the song into three legs to make it a little easier to learn. Also, at the end of the lesson, I'll explain why I titled this 'Booty Call'.
